Go Fly a Kite

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance. Children build their own paper kite structures based on a template (see Activity Sheet Link below) and use the design process to test and revise their kites.
